ST UD ENT COND UC T A ND D I SCIPLIN E homework, games and sleep will not be permitted. A list of students who have been assigned a DH will be available each day. While it is the responsibility of the student to check the list, the Dean’s office will make every effort to contact the assigned students. In addition, the Dean of Students holds a Friday DH each week from 3:35-5:05 p.m. Students are assigned to this DH by the Dean when deemed an appropriate consequence to a rule infraction. Also, students who fail to serve a DH in a week will be assigned a Friday DH the following Friday. This DH must be served on the date assigned and takes precedence over all other school commitments. • Middle School DHs are held in the computer hub on the first floor during lunch. • In the Upper School, DH is held during lunch Monday through Friday and after school from 3:35-4:05 p.m. Monday through Thursday. If a Friday DH is assigned, it is held from 3:35-4:05 p.m. on Fridays. • Lunchtime DH is held in the library. After school DH is held in the assigned proctor's classroom. • A student must complete the DH within one week of its assignment. Failure to complete the DH in the required time will result in a Friday DH from 3:35-5:05 p.m. A Friday DH takes precedence over all other commitments (sports, rehearsals, club meetings, etc.) and a student will not be allowed to participate in after-school activities during that time. Accumulated Upper School DHs will be treated according to the following schedule (per semester): Number of DHs 2
